The most common and unpleasant disease in the modern world is allergy. Treatment in children of this pathology has its own characteristics. However, first you need to understand the causes of its appearance and the symptoms in which it manifests itself.
So, a disease appears under the influence of certain allergens: dust, pollen, food, poplar fluff, animal hair, bird feathers. The immune system begins to respond inappropriately to these factors, and the condition of the body can deteriorate sharply. The reason for this is the excessive production of histamine. It should be noted that our protective system is able to memorize an allergen and immediately react with a second meeting with it. If an allergy is detected, treatment in children of such an ailment should be quick and thorough.
Consider the symptoms of the disease. In principle, each allergen causes different symptoms. For example, the body's reaction to a pathological factor can be red rashes on the body (urticaria), runny nose and constant sneezing, watery eyes, cough, fever and even suffocation (Quincke's edema).

, treatment in children of this pathology should be serious, as it can lead to great complications, for example, to bronchial asthma. In some cases, death can occur.
The most important way to combat a disease such as allergies is treatment. In children, it is provided with medications and folk preparations. This process is long or continuous. You can not prescribe treatment yourself. Only an allergist should do this. The specialist will certainly send the baby to all the necessary tests, as well as collect information about the diseases of the parents. The fact is that allergies are often inherited.
Allergies in children, the treatment of which should be carried out according to a certain scheme, is a difficult pathology. It is eliminated with the help of certain antihistamines. In addition, you should limit the baby's contacts with a dangerous factor. For example, if your child is allergic to dust, you will have to do wet cleaning every day, and in some cases several times a day. In the event of a reaction to certain foods, they should be excluded from the diet. Naturally, sometimes it is very difficult to do this, but you will have to try.
It is also necessary to strengthen the baby's immune system. In this case, you can reduce the manifestation of an allergic reaction. To do this, you should be tempered, eat right, often visit the fresh air, engage in physical education. Naturally, the house should have a calm atmosphere so that the baby does not experience stress.
For treatment, ASIT therapy can be used, which is a “vaccination” against an allergen. It can be carried out only after three years. It is also recommended to use soothing herbs that you need to drink or gargle with them. Aromatherapy is a great option, but you should choose oils that the child has no reaction to.
